Really? NYC has gotten warmer and wetter, but not dramatically (yet) -- I have noticed Lasius emarginatus doing well-- I never see Lasius Americanus, or neoniger anymore.
But I really think it's spraying since some blocks have life and others are dead.
Ironically people spray to kill roaches, and the spray is least effective against roaches, it kills everything else much more easily.
Then the roaches are the first to repopulate.
Great job! Now you have Only Roaches.
If you've ever seen video of one of those nightmare plague hoard roach infestations how do you think that happens? Well you have a dirty chaotic place with excellent food & water sources. This alone isn't enough. Such a gross environment would attract a whole ecosystem of critters. Not just all roaches.
No, what happens next is spraying. Killing everything. But no spray lasts forever and roaches are best adapted to move back in first. They have not competition: welcome to the nightmare.
